From Wednesday, 12th – Sunday 16th August 2015, Associate Professor Ken Schoolland from the Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu will be the lead presenter at the Free Market Academy, a summer camp hosted by the Silk Road Foundation (SRF), educating students on basic democratic values, human rights and the principles of a free society.
With experience as Associate Professor of Economics and Political Science for over 20 years, AP Schoolland has followed a lifelong interest in politics and economics and shares a passion for finding engaging and fun ways to educate today’s youth on the subject.
Having served briefly as an international economist in the US International Trade Commission and the US Department of Commerce, AP Schoolland quickly found that a career in government was not for him and taught in Alaska and Japan, before settling in Hawaii. He hosted a radio program for the Libertarian Party of Hawaii and ran for US Congress three times. He currently sits on the board of many democratic and Liberal organisations in Hawaii including holding the position of President of the International Society for Individual Liberty.
The Free Market Academy will be held across five days, where students between the ages of 18-22 will be immersed in a world of liberty, free society, individual rights, democracy, entrepreneurship and free market economy, participating in lectures, workshops, active discussions and debates.
Presenting alongside AP Schoolland will be a number of prominent Mongolian leaders, including SRF CEO Khaliunbat Myagmarjav and independent economist and media representative Jargal DeFacto. Students will have the opportunity to network with presenters during the camp and speak candidly about their economic views and aspirations.
The camp will take place outside of Ulaanbaatar, in the natural environment of Terelj National Park and will be free of charge to students. Students will be accepted based on experience of being actively engaged in their communities through volunteer roles, committees and social activities, and be expected to teach their learnings to 500 new students over the following year.
The Free Market Academy is just one of the many projects hosted by the SRF which values liberty, free markets and limited governance.
Whilst in Mongolia, AP Schoolland will also launch his renowned book The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: a Free Market Odyssey in Mongolian language, as well as present at The Economic Club of Ulaanbaatar on the topic of Trade, Migration, and Entrepreneurship: Path to Prosperity.
